those children should NOT have been left on their own. had an adult been with them maddie would still be here, simple as that.

Pleeeeeeaaase......do you have children Andrea and if you do, did you never ever leave them on their own?

That small children should never EVER be left unattended at any time. There was a babysitter service at the hotel the McCanns were staying at - they could have used that, had a pleasant night with their friends and Maddie would still be here.
They have to pay with what must be almost unbearable grief the rest of their lives for a very poor decision.

Very, very true, abs, the McCanns have paid so dearly for their mistake. If I'm honest, I don't know many mums who haven't left a sleeping baby in the car while they've maybe nipped into school with an older child, something like that. It's a terrible gamble. But from what is being reported, Kate and Gerry seemed to leave their much-wanted, IVF children too often, or place them in various "clubs" while they went running, played tennis.............if they wanted a "grown-up" holiday, where they could socialise with their pals most nights, maybe they should have left the children at home, this once, with family. I'm possibly being unfair, but I alternate between feeling utter despair for them, and huge anger that they thought that they could leave 3 children sleeping, and occasionally pop in and check that their shapes were still under the blankets. But I so wish that they could find closure, and some sort of peace.

Im so paranoid about anything happening to my daughter that if shes in bed at night i wont even sit out on our back garden unless i have baby moniter on (and shes 5!!!)

I always remember that little girl who was abducted out of her bathroom whilst her mum was on the phone or something and it made me worry so much!

I think they just got into the habit of doing what they did Shona and possibly created a false sense of security. They didn't ask an intruder to abduct their daughter but as you state, they are paying a terrible price for it now.

Wow! John, I can't believe I am agreeing with you?

Has he gone to Portugal for a holiday? The McCanns are due over there at any time now to promote their book.I take it that Mikes choice of dates for his trip is not coincidental?   ;)

I just hope he doesnt bump in to the McCanns.................god could you imagine?   :o

Cancelled holiday to Portugal, because it coincided with return to Portugal of McCanns, and the opening of the review by Metropolitan police into the case. Instead went to Turkey, just got back this morning...

I will be making the information I gathered as part of my investigation into this case, available to the Metropolitan police review in due course, including all the photographic evidence I gathered whilst there, and the conclusions I came to, and arrived at...

I firmly believe that the remains of Maddie will be found in the grounds of the derelict building opposite the church at PDL...
